REGINA SPEKTOR has announced that she will be returning to New Zealand this December to play the Auckland Town Hall with special-guest, ONLY SON!
I have the absolute fondest memories of seeing Spektor live in my lifetime already twice now, especially treasuring the very first time during which Only Son was also the support act, joining his [girlfriend] Regina to beatbox on-stage at the end of the show.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS TOUR. IT WILL BE AMAZING!
"This will be Spektor’s first run of headline shows in Australia and New Zealand since 2010’s sold-out tour that introduced her music to a new legion of fans. Spektor’s phenomenal voice has guided the way through a prolific catalogue filled with songs of satire, heartache and novelty, manifested in six critically acclaimed studio albums.
From heart wrenching tracks like ‘Samson’ and ‘Hero’ to songs that spread a smile across your face like ‘Dance Anthem of the 80s’ and ‘That Time’, Spektor has the inherent ability to compose a masterpiece for every occasion. The talented troubadour’s latest offering is her much anticipated sixth studio album, What We Saw From The Cheap Seats (out now through Warner).
Those lucky enough to experience a live performance by Spektor see her songwriting process come alive. Her intuitive performances capture audiences in a series of piano notes, fanciful phrases and hand claps.
Joining Spektor on her tour of Australia and New Zealand will be New York songwriter Only Son. Jack Dishel, the man behind Only Son, has lent his musical talents to many critically acclaimed performers over his impressive career, having previously performed with Nickel Eye, Stipplicon and The Moldy Peaches. Only Son’s latest release ‘Searchlight’ sees Dishel collaborating with the likes of The Strokes, Of Montreal and Little Joy for an album that showcases his impeccable song writing talent. The album even features a duet written and performed with Spektor herself."
